Pope Francis suggests Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon are disproportionate and immoral
Pope Francis has suggested that Israel's attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been immoral and disproportionate, saying its military domination has gone beyond the rules of war.
Francis was asked en route home from Belgium about Israel's targeted killing of one of Hezbollah's founding members, Hassan Nasrallah. Friday's strike in Beirut targeted an area greater than a city block and reduced several residential buildings to rubble, and at least six other deaths have been confirmed.
Francis didn't mention Israel by name and said he was speaking in general terms. But he said that the defense must always be proportionate to the attack.”
He said that even if war itself is immoral, there are rules that indicate some morality.
